This is just a spin off of the best finishers thread. But who are the top 5 fighters with the best killer instinct when they see an opponent hurt?
1) Anderson
2) Shogun
3) Wandy
4) Hendo
5) Condit
Jon Fitch
Gray Maynard
Didnt even think of Vitor^
Frankie Edgar except he finishes when he's hurt haha
Lauzon goes apeshit once he smells blood. Dude is a finisher. NONE of his victories has been a decision. That is the epitome of killer instinct.
Wand.
Lauzon is right up there

Not really the epitome at all. Heaps of people who are finishers still don't have the best killer instinct, but he does have it I'm just saying.
Wand will always be number one, but Vitor is up there. Wand with pure aggression but Vitor sees someone hurt and will probably have the fight finished in a few seconds, he moved so fast.

I was going to say pretty much that. When Jens said "kid comes like thunder" he pretty much nailed it.
Good list, pretty sure there was a big thread on this recently
Robbie
Condit, Lauzon, Silva. no particular order

I should me more explicit and say that being a finisher is an absolute necessary condition, albeit not a sufficient condition, for having killer instinct. I do agree that J-Lau's killer instinct with Subs is like Belfort's instinct with strikes...
No Diaz?
Also - sometimes Andy's killer instinct gets shut down. I'm still scratching my head with Leites, Cote, and Maia.
Oh yeah- duh-Aldo. Except I think if he hurts you too bad (ie hominick, Faber) he stops. Like he doesn't want to retire anybody or something.
Cruz2ninjafoya - Robbie
Robbie showed great killer instinct in his last fight for sure
Aldo
